Overview
On the foredeck of a small cruiser, this horizontal Lewmar windlass lies flat beside the bow roller and pulls chain through a port-side gypsy. Manual freefall drops the anchor fast, and an installation wrench comes in the kit.
Its advantage is a lower-powered unit sized for compact boats, with the breaker, toggle switch and studs in the box. The gypsy handles chain and rope. The limitation is the listing text, which has placeholder errors in the motor and size details.
Who it's for
Owners of small boats in the stated length range who anchor often will use the manual freefall and the toggle switch. Anyone with heavier ground tackle, a starboard-side layout or a need for exact cutout dimensions should check further.
Pros and cons
- Manual freefall drops anchor quickly
- Breaker and toggle switch included
- Gypsy takes chain and rope
- Installation wrench in the kit
- Motor power not listed correctly
- Deck dimensions garbled in the copy
- Port side gypsy only
- Boat range stated inconsistently
Performance notes
Pull comes from the motor and gearing, and the stated rating is the limit for anchor, chain and drag together. The gypsy only grips the listed chain and rope sizes, and slack rode on the wrong size will skip. Battery condition and wire gauge affect pull.
